"So this means one or both of two things: Stephon was really a rough diamond and the Redskins were lucky dogs to get him, he is developing and there is a strong chance he could be solid for years and if this season validates that position that Stephon will get a new contract and be the face of right tackle going into 2009; and or that Jon's ability to play the position has deteriorated so far that he, a former second round pick, cannot even beat out a guy no one called on draft day."
Isn't a combination of both? Jansen has really been through the ringer the last several years; in 2004 the ruptured Achilles, in 2005 the thumbs, in 2006 the torn calf muscle, the dislocated ankle and broken leg last year... And this is his 10th year with the last three hampered by what would be debilitating injuries to most.
Heyer also could be the real deal. He has played very well with only one exception, and that was with Fabini next to him last year. The whole line was a patch work effort.
Kimball has not been great shakes this year -- he also may have turned the corner on his career. Perhaps Jansen outplays Kimball for HIS job and Chad takes over at LG once he has more experience... Like Heyer has done (seemingly) this year.
